The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification,of,which' the accompanying drawing forms a part,;in which the separateparts of my improvement are des ,ignated :hyesuitable'Zreference;:characters in each of the views, and in'which Figure 1 is asectionalside view-of a device of the class specified and indicating the methodof its use; and, Fig. 2 a cross section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

In the practice of my invention, I provide a device of the classspecified, comprising a base a having a central tubular standard 6 inthe topof'which is secured a block a through which is passed a spirallyformed, or spirally grooved shaft d, and mounted on the tubular standardI) and the shaft (1 is a spiral spring 0 which normally projects to adistance above the tubular standard 6 approximately the same as theheight of said standard and the length of the shaft (Z is preferablyabout oneinch greater than that of the standard 6, including the base a.

Loosely mounted on the shaft d is a block 7 in which said shaft .isrotatable, and the lower end of the spring 6 heft-e bearing at thebottom of the standard 6 and the upper end thereof bears on the block f,and theend of said standard above said block is screwthreaded andprovided'with two nuts 9 and g and a washer g is preferably placedbetween the lower nut g and the block f, and
